HP Workstations for state and local governmentProfessional and affordableApplication certifiedSpecialized

The demands on analysts, scientists, engineers and GIS professionals are continuously increasing. Improved safety, more efficient design, and changing expectations are challenges requiring the utmost in IT solutions. On top of this, information detail is often needed at remote locations. State and local agencies are looking for new and improved technology solutions to handle these challenges. HP can help.

Our business is helping you solve complex problems and equip professionals with the computing technologies for the job at a competitive price. The computer industry is experiencing significant changes with the advent of technologies such as dual-core, quad-core, dual-processor, 64-bit, and genuine Windows Vista®. HP, along with your software solution providers, can help you find the right system for your organization’s unique needs. Whether you are planning for urban growth, designing a handicapped-accessible playground, or animating highways, HP can recommend solutions to fit the job at hand.

Professional and affordableWorkstation-class systemsCivil engineers, mechanical engineers, and GIS professionals drive systems with complex applications many hours a day. They need to get a job done quickly, error-free, and at the lowest cost possible. HP workstations do more than the average desktop solution−at a comparable price−by offering:

More processing power•

Professional 2D and 3D graphics•

Robust memory systems•

High performance and expandable I/O•

Enhanced system reliability•

Superior ROI•

More processing powerWhether you are planning urban growth boundaries or designing the replacement of an aging bridge, the raw computing power of HP workstations can help. HP workstations support features such as multiprocessing (more than one processor per system) and multi-core (more than one processor core per chip) to tackle your biggest computing challenges. Whether you are multi-tasking or running multithreaded applications, these features help reduce overall application time to solution and improve response time.

Today’s processors allow you to experience a 64-bit address space, together with 64-bit OSs such as genunine Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition and genuine Windows Vista Buiness (64-bit), to increase problem solving capability for large simulations and analyses.

Professional graphicsDesigning and mapping tasks often require professional graphics cards. HP workstations support the additional power and cooling requirements of high-end 3D and multi-display graphics cards. HP tests and certifies professional 2D to entry-, mid-, and high-level graphics cards for its workstations under the HP Leadership Graphics Program, increasing reliability and stability. Get expansive, fast, flexible, certified graphics solutions with HP workstations.

Robust memoryComputer memory is susceptible to soft errors that are nearly impossible to eliminate. As the amount of memory grows (by individual systems and aggregate memory within an organization), the probability of a memory error increases. This can result in corrupted data, application execution errors, and system crashes.

To significantly reduce these effects, HP workstations support ECC memory for detecting and correcting memory errors. Improve your productivity with workstation-class memory systems.

High performance & expandable I/OI/O performance and capacity are important to design, construction, mapping, and modeling applications that often generate large files. Workstations use hard drives with faster rotational speeds and higher performance interfaces than most desktop PCs, reducing latency and increasing data transfer bandwidth. HP workstations can manage a larger number of connected devices with more PCI slots and I/O ports (such as gigabit Ethernet, FireWire 800, and USB 2). Speed up your data transfer with workstation-class I/O.

Excellent ROIHP workstations provide an excellent ROI through longer life cycles. Features include:

More memory slots and higher density memory • for expansion

More I/O slots to support additional peripherals as • needs change

Processor upgradeability to lengthen system life•

Tool-less chassis to ease upgrades•

Large power supplies to handle upgrades and • expansions

CertifiedISV certifiedHP strives to have the fastest, most reliable platforms in the industry through its ISV certification program. By working closely with leading software providers, HP maximizes your system uptime and ensures fast resolution when problems occur. Many popular MCAD, GIS, and civil engineering products are tested and certified on HP workstations.

Long life cycles and managed transitionsProviding stable, high throughput systems is a continual challenge for state and local agencies. HP workstations have the system stability and reliability required for the demanding needs of professionals. HP also provides a single point for support to help keep your critical data at hand. HP workstations have:

Long life cycles with managed transitions• —Product roadmaps and new product releases are coordinated to allow development and testing of software images, helping you easily implement or transition to new technologies.

System image and BIOS stability• —Availability of systems for up to 15 months or more, letting you maintain and manage a single software image for an extended period of time.

Proactive product change notification• —Up to 60 days advance notice of any system or other changes that could impact a software image, minimizing surprises and downtime.

Graphics stability• —Tested and certified graphics cards for system reliability.

Single point of support• —HP provides a single point of support should issues arise.

HP Remote Graphics SoftwareHP Remote Graphics Software (RGS) is a powerful tool enabling remote access to workstation desktops and real-time sharing wherever ther is an Internet connection. Whether collaborators are remote or in the office, they can view graphics-intensive, high-quality images directly on their systems while the source data remains secure in the data center. The broadcast image has the same colors and high-level detail as the original, and sending images in lieu of design data minimizes security breaches. This innovative, patented software delivers the power and speed of graphics workstations to remote users with Internet access, anywhere in the office or in the world.

With HP RGS, you can:

Remotely access workstations with professional • multiple display 2D or 3D graphics

Access applications on different OS platforms•

Perform multi-user collaborations by sharing • desktops

Increase productivity, improve data security, help reduce operational cost, and improve system availability with HP RGS. For more information and a free trial edition, visit www.hp.com/go/remote.

Smart designIs noise an issue in your environment? HP workstations utilize quiet fan technology and vibration damping to minimize noise. In fact, with a workstation sound pressure of 20-30 dB, the noise level is equivalent to a faint whisper or a library environment.

If your previous computing solution disrupted productivity with time-consuming component replacements, consider an HP workstation. HP’s tool-less chassis lets you swap memory, disk, and power supplies quickly and easily! That leaves more time for important work.

HP workstations offer:

Quiet fan technology and vibration damping to • minimize noise

Front-accessible USB and FireWire ports•

Tool-less servicing of all common components•

Large power supplies to support more components•

Smart cooling that matches fan speed to power load•

Support for up to eight monitors (on select models) • to visualize all of your data
